Most government regulatory offices are managed and influenced by the very industry that they are supposed to be regulating. Look at the banking disaster for example - top officials who were supposed to be protecting us were/are board members of investment banks and brokerage houses and made fortunes off of unethical and irrisponsible actions and non-actions within their role of regulators. Make is unlawful for regulatory personell or department/office heads to be associated currently or in the recent past with the industry they are to be regulating. Make it a crime of unethical behavior and moral turpitude to regulate a industry while being a board member, employee, representative, or associate of that industry being regulated
